GoI ‘deeply paranoid and intolerant’ when people of J&K want to protest against ‘disempowerment’: Mehbooba Mufti

SRINAGAR — Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti said that the government of India was “deeply paranoid and intolerant when people of J&K want to protest against its disempowerment.”

For the umpteenth time, we’ve been placed under house arrest for trying to organise a peaceful protest.

In a tweet Mehbooba Mufti said, “GOI trumpets scrapping Article 370 & dismembering J&K throughout the country but is deeply paranoid & intolerant when people of J&K want to protest against its disempowerment. For the umpteenth time, we’ve been placed under house arrest for trying to organise a peaceful protest.”

She also offered condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in a tragic accident at Mata Vaishno Devi in Jammu.

“I am also saddened by the tragic accident at Vaishno Devi & neither the administration the nor police are carrying out their duties. Instead they are engrossed in threatening people into silence. My condolences to the families of those who lost their lives,” she tweeted.
